Horace Silver - Umbria Jazz - 1976

Avec Bob Berg et Tom Harrell

[@johnsharpe734]

Cream of the trumpet players….Tom H …never tire of this…..a phenomenon….Bob Berg. Amazing….

[@donaldlinke5233]

This is the real school of thought that will never get old. Never!

[@postatility9703]

I thought, since no one has yet mentioned it,what a killer tune the opening tune is!.It is called "Adjustment " and was originally on Horace's "Silver and Brass" album from 1975.It has tricky changes,but beautifully ends on a wonderfully unexpected chord(an "A" I think)As for the band,well,whew!!!!!!

[@rextrumpet]

Tom Harrell 🔥 - amazing! Lyricism and virtuosity in perfect proportion.

[@c.thompson6638]

Smokin' hot band. Horace's signature sound. Tight, funky rhythm. Berg and Harrell are exemplary on their horns. Love it!

[@ronaldunkel2681]

For me Horace, Art and Cannonball were the funky, swingin’ original hard-bop foundation members. Great live gig with ‘cracker’ solo’s. Dig this folks & Cheers!

[@xlomen]

Tom Harrell is already shaking from a physical disability yet his playing is still immaculate. Saw him years later and he could not even hold his head up. Still playing. Amazing spirit. But this is a great performance all round. Hats off to Horace and company.

[@firthstomachs423]

I think its more due to his psychiatric condition

[@etaylor2k]

I thought he had paranoid schizophrenia

[@davidgadd57]

Endris Taylor, Yes you are correct. I had the honor of meeting Tom some years back at Jazz Showcase in Chicago during a break. He really opened up talking about music. Somewhere in the conversation he went to his mistrust of authority. Can't say I disagreed with him. I love this man. His writing and creativity is genius.

[@williambeck6364]

I saw Harrell at the Jazz Showcase....in the 70s with Horace and Bob Berg. It was obvious from his on-stage persona that he had psychiatric problems. Fortunately it didn't seem to affect his stellar trumpet playing! In fact I even saw a huge grin on his face when he made a joke to Berg in between tunes. I'm so happy he was able to keep playing, creating, and recording in spite of the ongoing illness. What a trumpet player. And what a man!

[@ALMAR-Music-Ltd.]

I went to high school with Bob Berg he was a legend

[@superdiscount100]

Harrell is on point. Such poise. Takes nothing for granted, not a note is wasted.

[@kentbyron7608]

Wow! Thank you! And Eddie Gladden on drums too. What a master. Listen to that swing!

[@57curtnevan]

This only 4 years after Lee Morgan's death. I don't know how I missed Tom Harrell all these years. Sure am happy to discover him now!

[@rillloudmother]

I feel like trumpets have been underappreciated for a long time. miles still casts a big shadow.

[@d4cyneburg490]

My grandfathers brothers son. So wonderful to see him

[@dylangatenby9928]

Always enjoy these great jazz concerts and Horace and his band don’t disappoint!!

[@rozenaxsax5133]

Let's hear it for Horace Silver, one of the greatest Jazz Masters this world has ever known. He was the original Jazz Messenger and he never stopped spreading the message throughout his entire life with all his groups. And this group was a truly stellar one. Bob Berg was a total monster tenor player. This concert right here is some of the best playing you'll hear anywhere. They don't make 'em like him anymore. And Tom Harrell. Wow, what can you say. Brilliant!!!

[@BEARGUITARJAZZ]

Killer Post, Awesome show, fantastic venue, this is where the internet really shines, the absolute best ever just a click and your there... Yeah, :~}

[@Berkleesaxman]

Bob Berg is a dead ringer for Bob Mintzer...he could be his twin and they both are monster sax players. These guys are cooking on this date!!

[@ethanrob]

Tom Harrell = god status. Solos are always the perfect amalgam of: thoughtfulness (10:18), mastery of the changes (11:48), and searching for something (11:30).

[@rozenaxsax5133]

Back listening in the new year. This performance of In Pursuit of the 27th Man has to be one of the greatest pieces of life jazz ever. They are all cooking on another plane way above the earth and mere mortals. Awesome.

[@MarkTarmannPianoCheck_it_out]

Horace here is sounding so on it, such clean articulation and lyrical connection of the riffs. Me thinks this band, so on it too, and so into it (Berg aint just lounging cooly, he bopping and digging, giving vibes and energy) lifted him to even higher heights than usual.

[@drewplourd8335]

It's incredible how palpable the influence of Freddie is in Tom's playing at this phase of his development. Of course you can still hear "Tom", but this is yet another testament to the importance of imitating and then "shedding the skin" of one's favorite players.

[@rextrumpet]

Great way to put it!

[@jayclarke9611]

I still hear Clifford more than Freddie in earlier Harrell, but maybe it s just me

[@jamesjazzy8040]

Virtually everything was good in 1976.....the 70’s period.

[@Jakelyn7133]

Genial Horace.

[@Emanonerewhon]

Thank you so much for posting this. Tom Harrell and Bob Berg... Amazing.

[@Alastair6]

Bob Berg was years ahead of his time! One of the greatest tenor players of all time, he had it all!

[@tunefultonyjohnson4100]

Bob Berg ??-- I thought, wearing a hat like that, that it was Bob Dylan! :)

[@tunefultonyjohnson4100]

37:26 -- SONG FOR MY FATHER, Horace's signature tune.....

[@davezinn6810]

You thought Bob Dylan could blow a sax like that? :)

[@agaudr]

ha! actually he looks more like Frank Zappa who, by the way could not blow a sax to save his life....

[@FCntertainr]

I saw Bob playing with Cedar Walton East Coast Rebellion? In mid 80s. Some were dogging him because of his dress ie casual sweat suit sneakers. He blew his rump off! I went and talked to him as they still had intimate informal jazz concerts albeit in Holiday Inn ballrooms lol. He was very cordial and it was said he played with the great Horace Silver. He played with Miles afterward RIP.

[@curtisbowland1272]

Purely smokin. Right there with Horace best groups. Great Tom. RIP Bob Berg a great loss, but while he was here he sure was here!!! Peace and Sounds. Cj

[@CharlesJGreenberg]

I came to this after listening to recent Harrell sets, like his 70th birthday party. Harrell mastered "graduate school" from Silver and Phil Woods before building his own ensembles. What a career.

[@hivicar]

Right around then, this G.I. drove up to Philly from Tidewater looking for a jazz club. Stumbled on "Just Jazz" a fine intimate atmosphere to catch Tom with Joanne Brackeen. Great set! Same year we caught Silver w/ Brecker Bros. in Boston. Those were the days!

[@quetzalcoatl8060]

... ¡¡¡ GRACIAS INFINITAS !!! ...

[@billscherff2827]

Berg & Silver are tops Love everything they play .

But so good. I would loved to have seen him play. I was a child when this was filmed. To see him with Maupin and Cobham....

[@agoldenjazz]

This concert is unbelievable.

[@peterg.bassist]

Tom Harrell - love it!

[@rozenaxsax5133]

Damn, I could listen to this all day.

[@alansenzaki4148]

Whatever configuration of members Horace has it's always cookin. Harrell and Berg ( r.i.p.) are smokin. Horace is playing harder than usual. Great posting. Thank you!!! Have subscribed.

[@Enevan1968]

And Berg was only 25! What a loss...

[@MarkTarmannPianoCheck_it_out]

Yeah. Horace, harder, and with such clean articulation I've never seen from him.. Just on fire.

[@oflodor43]

Questo e' il concerto di Orvieto.Esiste una registrazione bootleg di un altro concerto a Gubbio sempre in occasione di Umbria Jazz.Qui Berg e' ancora fortemente influenzato da Coltrane ma gia' fa intravvedere il suostile personale che sviluppera' con Cedar Walton dal 77 al 83.Stile che attrasse l'attenzione di Miles Davis che lo volle nel suo complesso dal 83 per tre anni.Periodo prolifico commercialmente per Berg che resistette 3 anni e poi lo lascera' .Miles Davis era nel periodo piu' brutto jazzisticamente.

[@wsegen]

+Rodolfo Varani Scuzzi, but are you saying this is NOT in perugia? Nice tracs, glad somebody had the cameras rolling.

Bob Berg burning. Such a Coltrane way of playing here.

I think Tom is the best trumpeter to play with Horace Silver since Blue Mitchell !!

Io c'ero: fu tra i più bei concerti jazz di quel periodo, con la big di Thad Jones e Mel Lewis, i Jazz Messengers etc

What's the names of the tunes? And are they Silver originals?

[@MarkTarmannPianoCheck_it_out]

1st i don't know. 2nd, "Barbara" from a 1975 album with Berg. 3rd "the 27th man" "song for my father" at the end. all those are originals. Most of what he played in concerts were his own tunes. and why not. so many great tunes he wrote.

[@MrSalsa1973]

Wow!👊🏽😎
